That ship has already sailed. What he needs to focus on is rebuilding the reputation with proper independent oversight and accountability. Most cops, especially the higher ranks, think they God's gift to society.

lol best comment I read in a long time!

I give it a solid Shmaybe.

You hit a point with rents and leases. I've long thought that building a huge building (think pentagon size) to house all government offices in one place makes perfect sense and a lot cheaper long term. Government owns enough land to do this. Makes parking a non issue, no more rent/leases and all the space they need in one place. Probably still need a very small number of outlying offices but nothing on scale there is now.

After already shafting people with property tax, I guess he needs to calm things down before starting up again. The 'Last Resort' will probably happen in less than 1 year from now.

Just what I was thinking and instead of always wanting more in taxes, how about cutting back on spending.

Start charging VAT on bribes. That should add some money to the chest.

They cut VAT so they need to get money from somewhere else.

It's about making friends - this pretty much sums up the level of expertise Davis and his minions have about running our country's economy. I would respect him more if he just came out and said it was an all expenses paid vacation for his friends. If Davis wants a new friend, he should get a dog.

The more money and foreign company is likely to invest, the more concessions it will demand and the more backroom dealings which will never see the light of day.
